I'm curious, since you seem to have studied magick, what is the difference between Black and White magick? Is it simply the difference between a positive outcome and negative outcome? Thanks in advance..

There are a number of schemes used to classify this.

For the purposes of this thread:

White Magick- The use of means not currently understood to western science to enact beneficial change upon yourself and further self-knowledge and development.

Gray Magick- The use of means not currently understood to western science to enact positive change in the world for yourself or another, can also be thought of as using practices to resolve disharmony or problematic energy configurations in the world.

Black Magick- The use of means not currently understood to western science to cause harm to oneself or another, can also be thought of as using practices to create disharmony or make energy configurations that cause negativity.

It's important to remember that these have less to do with the intention of the magick and more to do with the outcome, which is why most practices involve a preparatory divination to be sure that one is not going to cause unintentional negative outcomes through the use of a ritual or other device.

Magic has no color.

Magic is colorless.

Practical magic is what is commonly called 'black magic'.

You can't curse if you can't heal, you can't heal if you can't curse. A healing spell is a cursing spell, you curse the disease to heal the patient.

And the intent IS ALL IMPORTANT. It is the intent that you throw into the craft the projects the outcome. You can take a simple healing spell and make it malevolent and putrid. causing harm instead of removing harm.

Your ignorance is dangerous and you most likely will end up in deep doo-doo practicing your modern voo-doo.
